There are three different types of pool filters you will come across when dealing with a swimming pool. The filter is used together with your pool pump, which allows water to pass through before re-entering the pool. The filters you will run into, at one point or another, will be cartridge, diatomaceous earth (D.E.) and sand filters. It is suggested to get a proper sized filter because sizing the filter correctly to the application of your pool will provide with the ultimate filtering power possible. Depending on your location of residence, certain filter types should be used in favor over others. Make sure to speak to a local pool professional near you or give us a call at All-Tex Pools to ensure the proper filter type and size is being used for your backyard swimming pool.
